I totally agree!!! Why did I spend the time, effort, and mo= ney (additionally to stay certified) if I am not going to get a pay incenti= ve to do so? Sure, anyone can get OJT for many things, but would you = pay a non-registered PA (pathologist assistant) the same as someone who had= completed a masters program and passed the exam...of course not (in fact y= ou probably wouldn't even hire the person!). I have worked in places = where there are these "non-registered histotechs", my question always was..= .what even is this position? I had to pay my dues as an underpaid lab= assistant like I'm sure everyone else did while getting my degree and regi stry...why shouldn't everyone else? I know in the past it really gets= under people's skin when non-registered are making only $2 less an hour th= an a registered tech with the same experience. I would say listen to = your "dinosaur" management...you have to earn the money you make!!! Sarah G= oebel, B.A., HT (ASCP) Histotechnician

Duh - no. In my opinion, merit increases should be based on merit - not documentation. If he's not eligible, he's not eligible. Does your management increase pay based on certification? So, if a certified tech with one year of experience came to your lab, they would be paid more than an incumbent tech with 8 years experience? Sounds like you have some dinosaur management there.

The lab management wants to change his title from histotech eligible to histotech non-registered without pay increase. But I feel the pay should be increased. So I would appreciate comments on the following: 1.) should title be changed from eligible to non-registered? 2.) After having done this for 8 years should his pay stay the same? 3. Should job responsibilities remain the same Thank you in advance for feedback!
